This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in, Lake Kick on the air.

It is Tuesday night, December 21st, the year of our Lord, 2021.

First day of winter, We are training headlong

through bowl season. We got Christmas coming up. I'm on the road. I'm actually, even though I'm in the

studio right now, at home down in Georgia, because we put together a very special treat. The PA's have

been hard at work, producer Jesse Collin. I've even done some digging. We've been hard at work

doing what you guys have asked for for quite a while. We have never put together best of shows. We have never dug through the archives because we got here and immediately had to start ground running. It was a skeleton crew. So we really never had time to compile it. Well, now we have. And so what we're going to do tonight, and we're going to do it Thursday night, too, we're going to bring you some stuff that even I had forgotten about. Some of the stuff's from this year on the Renaissance tour. Some stuff's from a couple of years ago, but it's all really good stuff. We just basically went and found our most popular stories, our most popular segments. And the reason why I want to do this right now ahead of the playoffs, instead of waiting until the end of the season because I know we have a ton of new viewers. We got some folks and credit to you and thank you for this that are brand new just within the last few months. Our audience keeps increasing 5%, 7%, 10% per month. So some of you have never heard these stories. In fact, a lot of you statistically have never heard these stories. So here's what I wanted to do tonight. Let's just dive in. We called this year the Renaissance Tour for a reason, because when we went on the road, we knew that we were going to have full stadiums again, and we were going to have a recharged college football again. And it was going to be a lot like we missed it back in the day. Renaissance, thus being spoken

about. And it was the Renaissance tour because we were in a different city every week. About week

eight or week nine, I make my way out to Waco, Texas. This game ends in Oklahoma being upset by

Baylor. Now you probably remember that. But there was also a very interesting story that went

right along with that. So we're going to play a couple of stories

here back to back. One is from this season.

One is from the 2017

College Football National Championship

game. Some things that you

don't see if you just turn on the game, but if you're

associated with the show, you get to see

because we like to peel the curtain back

as often as we can. So take a listen.

I am not a big memorabilia guy. I just don't collect a lot of things. And that goes up to

and including today. But I have something. I didn't really realize that I had it, didn't ever look at it as
